Sandlapper
ParrotHead Telegraph
Volume III, Number 11
March 2001
A Charter PHiP Club

Captain's Log
Greetings Sandlappers! What a long strange trip it's been. Here we are at 3 years young and the club is preparing
to undergo its first leadership change in its history. On Tuesday, March 13th, the results from our election will
be announced and a new President and Treasurer will be indoctrinated into their new positions. So with this change
at the top, this will be my last Captain's Log for the Sandlapper PH Telegraph. I will certainly miss running the
club, but will not be out of the loop totally as I will be stepping down into the Vice President's position. These
last three years have been a fantasy come true for me. Actually getting the ball rolling wasn't as easy as I thought
it would be. According to PHiP guidelines, to start a club, we needed to be at least 50 miles from a current club
and, of course, the Charlotte club is only 25 miles away. So I had to get permission from Chad Penley, their President
at the time, to go ahead and organize the effort. His blessing came at the Valentines Day 1998 pre-Buffett concert
party in downtown Charlotte and six weeks later we had our inaugural meeting at Thursdays Too in Rock Hill. Thirty
some-odd pholks attended that meeting and we were on our way. We've had some good times and we've had some rocky
times (do I need to mention the mini-hurricane that wiped us out at the Come See Me Tail Gate Party in 1999?),
but overall we have had productive times and done a lot of good for local and national charities. I urge you to
embrace the new leader of our club and rededicate your loyalty to the future of the SPHC. The club will be in good
hands regardless of the outcome of the elections. Thanks again for a wonderful three years and for your hard work
that has made our club one of the best in the country, or the world for that matter.

Sandlapper PHC 3rd Anniversary Party
Sandlapper 3rd Anniversary Party will be held at the Rock Hill Jaycee Hut, just off of Hwy 161 (beyond my old house
toward York about 4/10 of a mile, turn when you see the Serenity Club sign). We'll be turning this into a BBQ sale
and benefit for Sandlapper member Ronnie Howell who is currently going through some serious health problems. Tickets
are $10.00 each (in advance or at the door) and all proceeds from BBQ and ticket sales will go to Ronnie.

The RH Jaycees were kind enough to donate their Hut for the event and several of their members have a band (Plain
Jane) that will play at no cost to the club. Another local band, one that doesn't even have a name at this point,
will be making their public debut at this function, again at no cost to the club. And, if I get this cleared with
the boys, the Rum Punch Bandits might even make an appearance. If you need more detailed directions, just let me
know and he'll do what I can to get you there.
